While visiting NYC for the week, my son needed a quick beard touch-up and we happened to stumble across this barber shop on our way to the Statue of Liberty. They seated him right away, offered us drinks, and made us feel completely welcome from the moment we walked in. The conversation was great, the shop was professional, clean, and courteous, and according to my son, the shave was excellent. It looked great too! They even gave us some really helpful NYC recommendations for the area, which we appreciated so much. To the young man from Arizona -- I'm sorry I can't quite remember your name, I think it was Josef -- thank you for the kindness and hospitality. We'll absolutely recommend your shop to anyone visiting the area. Great experience all around, and an amazing job on the shave! read more

Was looking for a new barber. Shakh was super nice and great. Really appreciate his style. Will definitely go back.

Great haircuts and good people. They play great music and I always I appreciate the drinks they offer during my haircut. Would recommend this place to anyone. read more

The guy completely cut my back hairline off. When the haircut was done, I said this isn't what I wanted but the barber said trust me this is what you want. How does he know what I want if he did a bad job on the haircut? Shows the level of professionalism here. I wouldn't let somebody cut my hair at the spot. read more

I had a 10 AM appointment booked and arrived on time, only to be told the barber wasn't there. I was asked to come back at 3 PM, which didn't work for my schedule, so a refund was issued. About 10 minutes after leaving, I received a text saying my appointment had been rescheduled to 10:15 AM. I returned, only to be told there was no available appointments at that time either. The entire experience was disorganized and frustrating. This is one of the most poorly managed businesses I've encountered, and I won't be returning. read more

Julio was awesome, very kind and quick. Knew exactly what I wanted. Will def return for future cuts

Anthony is excellent!! I went for a haircut on my birthday and he gave me top-tier treatment - a facial on the house and an extra shot (one comes complimentary with the cut). A very nice guy and a skilled barber! I have longer, wavy hair and he killed it with the scissor cut. He nailed the clean-up that I requested, keeping my curls in great shape. Highly recommend him! read more

Made an appointment online for a scissor haircut with Henry. I was seated quickly & handed a nice cold bottle of water. Henry & I shared a brief chat about what I wanted and he started dampening & trimming away! Henry interrupted the cut 3-4 times to text which kind of bugged me, but he explained it was discussing, with his brother, the transportation of his Mom to shop later in the day. In any case, the results were what I sought & included a neck & sideburn razor finish. He also provided a brief electric scalp massage which was really pleasant. I was going to leave it at that...but then saw they offered facials. So Julia happily took me to her chair. A hot eucalyptus scented towel. Several topical treatments were applied & gently removed with a warm face towel (cleanser, exfoliant, moisturizing lotion to name 3) followed by a neck & chin massage. Really luxurious experience. I highly recommend a visit to Henry and/or Julia if you need a little self care. read more

I called to make an appointment at their water Street location. Make sure it was a timely appointment because I had to leave. I'll make sure ahead of time. It's enough time for me considering why they described as a 30 minute appointment. More than 10 minutes later the barber still has not shown up and I had to leave. This is terrible customer service. I do not recommend this place. read more

Went here yesterday and left extremely disappointed. The barber didn't even bother to wet my hair before cutting, which should be a basic step. My haircut is noticeably uneven, and honestly looks worse than before I walked in. On top of that, the barber was extremely rough -- at one point I genuinely thought he might clip my ear off. Overall it was a terrible experience, both in the quality of the cut and the lack of care. I wouldn't recommend this shop to anyone looking for a good haircut. read more

This place is so fun lol - it's a barber shop so I wasn't here for myself but the boyf wanted his beard trimmed and everyone was so nice. Ronny, Ashley, and everyone else was so friendly, helpful, and fun. We'll be back! read more

Honestly fantastic haircut on the spur, if staying at the Beekman it's seconds away and top notch!

This is a great barber shop. Mark gave me my first haircut when my office moved to FiDi. He did a great job so I went back. I switched to Henry since Mark wasn't available when I came back the second time. Henry does a great job. I like to be edgy but I have a corporate job so he gave me a cut that looks good at the office and at the club. I also recommended Henry to my bf who wanted an edgier look. Henry gave him a totally rad look. My boyfriend gets compliments on his hair everywhere we go. Also, the atmosphere at the shop is totally cool. They have booze if you feel like having a drink. Also, they always invite us to their parties. It's definitely a place where you can look great and even maybe make a new friend. read more

Awesome shop! Great atmosphere everyone makes you feel welcomed. I went to pedro! Nice guy. Great shop all around you wont be disappointed. Overall a bit pricey. But worth it and they offer you drinks ranging from soft to hard liquor. Right on the corner you cant miss it. The guys seem funny in there they make it fun. read more

HONEST REVIEW! I went in here on a busy Friday evening to pick up some hair product, that's it. The main barber let me try the product, and then sat me down in his chair and styled my hair perfectly. All the other patrons in the shop were so nice and friendly. I walked outta this joint looking so good. These guys love what they do. 100% recommend this barber shop. Thanks boys! read more

Service ranges, sometimes you get good barbers, others arent that great. couple of times I have gotten a great cut, but others they didn't listen and cut way too much off the sides. The maintenance cut between haircuts is a nice perk though read more

I had a really bad cut. These guys gave it good temporary cut that is going to develop into a good overall cut. They were very hospitable!! They gave some drinks, the music was chill. The hostess was great. Every barber in there knows how to cut!! So happy with my fix, I can't wait until my hair grows out and I can get a solid real cut!! read more

When I tell you that this business cares, it's an understatement. I have always been insecure about my sweating and the founder, Mark, turned the AC down, faced his fan on me, and constantly checked on me when he saw me sweating. This was the best I've been treated hands down and I'll always get my hair cut here regardless of pricing, circumstances, or anything else. You can't put a price on decency, gentlemanship, and superior customer service. read more

Popped in unexpectedly today. Henry hooked me up for my wedding. I am definitely going back! They are going to bring back what FiDi is missing. SEE YOU SOON read more

Horrendous haircuts and massively overpriced Better off going to Mikes down the block Unskilled barbers here read more

Wow! What a great experience at Skullfade. From the moment I walked in until I left, it felt like a party. Timur was the person taking care of me and he did an amazing job. That said, it seemed like everyone else had a fantastic experience too. Great job on setting a vibe that makes this more than just a normal haircut. But bottom line, great job and more than competitive NYC prices. Will definitely be back. read more

I walked in and they took me almost immediately. HENRY was awesome and gave me one of the best fade/cut I have ever had. The shop is conveniently located and the staff is great. Thanks Henry! -Shaun read more

Anthony is amazing extremely professional by far one of the best barbers in New York we just walked in. Everyone was very nice very friendly and we were lucky to have Anthony cut my my grandson Hair and what a great job he did fabulous he is the best he did exactly when my grandson wanted it. Absolutely will be back and the place is absolutely adorable. read more

Henry did a phenomenal job! He clearly communicated what he was gonna do and figured out what I wanted very quickly. He takes the time and energy to make sure the cut is to the highest standard. Really impressed with the whole experience and the whole staff makes you feel welcome and respected. Thanks Henry! read more

Finding a great barber isn't easy, but Mark and his team are the best I've met in my decade in NYC. The attention to detail on each haircut is impeccable, the hospitality is superb (water, beer, spirits offered every time I stop by!), and the free shape ups between cuts ensure I'm always looking sharp. Put simply: Skullfade is a cut above any other shop I've been to. read more

Good cuts and good vibes Great booking system which makes it easy to grab time. Fair prices. Free clean ups between cuts. read more

Great service and vibe - the barber knew exactly how to shave a black dudes beard! I appreciate it coming from Vegas

Completely didn't listen to what I asked for and cut my hair way shorter than I wanted. The manager gave me a free cut voucher after, but damage is done. So they're good people here, and they do a good fast, but do NOT go here if you need them to use scissors / you have longer hair. read more

Henry my guy always with the fresh and best Been cutting my hair and beard with him for almost 2 years now. Never disappointed read more

Skulkfade is an awesome experience and a great haircut. The vibes in the shop are always high. The receptionists are nice and the owner Mark has a big hello for every customer.

Had a great haircut from Karim, would recommend to anyone getting a haircut in the financial district

I needed a haircut badly. I have a medium curl in my hair. They had a weirdly cool attitude. Barely spoke to me when I went in to make an appointment. Another barber chimes in eventually and said a name of a barber that he thought would be best for me. I got an appointment for the next day. I got there the next day at the right time. Was taken to get my hair wet then sat. Showed him a photo of what I wanted. It was totally doable and more or less said yes ok. During the cut I felt him pulling on the hair he was working on, not painfully, but it was hard to keep my head straight. I've never felt such a thing getting a haircut. He kept scraping my ears and scalp with the comb. Cut himself with scissors and had to stop for first aid. Then showed me a lot of cuts on his hands! The haircut itself is fine, but when it came to the styling part, he did the exact opposite anyone with curly hair would do. He blasted with a blow dryer, rubbing the top of my head vigorously. Then used something called texture spray. He used half a bottle. Texture? Texture of a dirt road. When he was done I looked like a dandelion. I wasn't really happy. When I got home I had to wash it twice to get the texture spray out. Luckily the haircut isn't that bad or I'd give 1 star. It's the same price as better places. Not goinbg back there. Cannot recommend. read more

Received haircut and beard trim from Ronny. Highly recommend. Great cut and great service. Will certainly be my new spot.

Came in from San Francisco...Ronnie and the boys tightened me and my son up for my daughter's wedding!! And of course, wanted to clean up & look good seeing my mom that afternoon. Great shop, cool dudes, excellent vibes & hospitality. Go see the boys! read more

Easily the best haircut I've had in FiDi! The vibe in this place is way better than most too, I also strongly recommend Oscar!

I have been going to Henry for about a year now and I can confidently say he is the best barber I have ever been to. The cut and the experience are both top notch. The first time I went to Henry I told him what I was looking for and did exactly what I was hoping for. Ever since then, he knows exactly what I want right as I walk in and delivers every time. He pays attention to every possible detail. The experience never feels rushed but also gets the job done in an efficient time. Truly the best barber experience I have ever had. Henry will be the only barber I go to in New York. read more

This barbershop is honestly the best I've experienced in the city. I've been getting haircuts with Henry for about a year now, and every appointment is perfection. He is a hard worker and clearly cares about the quality of his work. I live uptown Manhattan, but I travel down to Fidi for a haircut because it's just THAT good. read more
